This yeast supplement may boost cancer-fighting immunity
A simple yeast-based food supplement may help restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, according to new research in mice. Scientists found that yeast beta-glucan reprogrammed early immune cells in the bone marrow, leading to stronger, longer-lasting cancer-fighting responses against colorectal, skin, and breast cancer cells.
Longevity Day
LONGEVITY DAY — a science-fiction trailer for the Future Vision XPRIZE.
In 2035, an eighty-eight-year-old biologist with cancer and failing memory fights to restart the AI-assisted rejuvenation research that may be her last chance — three years after a catastrophic AI failure nearly convinced the world to abandon frontier research altogether.
A story about making aging optional.

SLEEPER: SLEEPER — a science-fiction trailer for the Future Vision XPRIZE
In 2029, a terminally ill woman chooses cryopreservation rather than accept the finality of death. She wakes forty-four years later, into a world she does not recognise — and to a promise someone kept across four decades.
A story about coming back, and about whether the future is worth coming back for.

Panama canal to reduce shipping as El Niño strikes vital route
Nine of 10 ships using the canal do so with a reservation, and the remaining slots are auctioned off.
Before the Iran war the average winning bid in these auctions was $135,000. But in April one shipping company eager to use the canal paid a whopping $4m.
The operator said it does not rule out further restrictions on shipping depending on how much it rains in the coming weeks.
This frozen fiber makes light and sound interact 1,000x more strongly
Freezing the liquid core of an optical fiber produced an extreme environment where light and sound interact more than 1,000 times more strongly than in ordinary fibers. Researchers used the effect to create optoacoustic memory, potentially paving the way for lower-energy photonic computers and advanced quantum technologies.
Researchers turned data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites into a giant scanner for Earth’s upper atmosphere, mapping a hardtoobserve region around 500 kilometres above the planet
A network of Starlink satellites designed primarily for internet connectivity is giving scientists a new way to study one of the hardest-to-observe regions of Earth’s atmosphere. According to a study by researchers at Kyoto University, publicly available orbital data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites were used to estimate the density of the thermosphere at an altitude of about 482 kilometres.
How will NASA’s astronaut training hub change with commercial space stations?
A tour of Johnson Space Center in Houston shows how NASA and private industry are already working together on the future of human spaceflight.
